Handling and storage of gas cylinders:Cylinders of compressed gas either flammable or otherwise canbe lethal if they are mishandled or misused. Care must be taken inall aspects of their use, particular attention must be paid to the careof valves or regulator, and these are perhaps a cylinder’s mostvulnerable parts. If, during careless handling, damage occurs to thevalve or regulator, an innocuous cylinder can turn into a deadlymissile. The vast store of energy contained in a gas cylinder canculminate into a powerful jet propulsion unit if there is nothing tocontrol its release.Flammable gases and oxygen case particular problems especially ifleakage occurs and instant recognition of cylinders is vital for thecourse of action to be followed.The following precautions are mandatory;a) The oxygen and acetylene cylinders shall not be storedb)c)d)e)together except during use.Gas cylinder shall be stored upright.Full and empty cylinders shall be kept apart to preventconfusion and mistake.No valve or lading on a gas cylinder shall be lubricated.The cylinders shall be kept away from oil and greaseduring storage and handling.The LPG cylinder shall be stored under cover.

Reporting of accidentsWhenever an injured person is required to be sent to thehospital for treatment, the executive on duty should prepare thecopies of accident form as per the procedure and give to the HSEofficer. In case of serious accident information should be passed atonce to location head. Investigation of accidents:The essential requirements of successful accidents preventionpractice are:13
a) Every accident is investigated expeditiously and causesare analyzed critically.b) Remedy for avoiding recurrence is recommended andapplied. Unusual occurrence:These are learning incidents which have the potential ofaccidents / mishaps / spillages. These shall be reported,investigated and remedial actions thereof shall be expeditiouslyimplemented to prevent recurrence. Horse play:Horse play of any kind is prohibited inside the site. Do notdistract the attention of others at work. Emergency:An emergency shall be declared if an untoward incidents (fire,major solvent/inflammable material spill or major injury accidents)occurs and requires the mobilization of all possible resources to14
tackle it. Regular drills shall be conducted to familiarize everybody on their roles in the event of such emergency. Participation inthese drills is mandatory as per procedure.Follow safety everaccident will be neverEmergency instructions:In the case of an emergency like fire, gas leak etc / Onhearing a bell or alarm:15
Stop work if any, switch off gas hot plate / all equipments.Leave the room / kitchen / store / office etc, with visitors if any.Close door behind you.Report to assembly point.Do not enter the room / kitchen / store / office etc, beforeemergency co-ordinator gives you permission.Check and ensure that all occupants have been vacated.If all have been vacated proceed to assembly point and report toemergency co-ordinator.Perform roll call / head count.Do not allow occupants and visitors to return to the room /kitchen / store / office etc, until advised by the emergency coordiantor.Contact MIB staffs / HSE officer.[Do not do anything that may endanger yourself or others]Emergency action in fire incident:In the event of a fire follow the following general rules:After discovering the fire:1) Assess the situation to determine if onsite resources are adequateto respond. If YES, initiate response.16
SHOUT FIRE, FIRE .!! SOUND THE BELL/ALARAM .!! ATTACK THE FIRE WITH APPROPRAITEFIRE EXTINGUISHER. Contact PDO Supervisor / HSE officer.2) If NO, immediately call 5555 , 9999. The operator will askthe following questions: What happened? Where it happened? What is your name? What is your current location? What is your telephone number? Do you need an ambulance? Do you need the fire brigade?3) If fire is in building/accommodation: CLOSE THE DOOR OF THE ROOM WHERE THEFIRE IS LOCATED.17
REPORT TO THE ASSEMBLY POINT NEARGATE. IF YOU HAVE VISITORS YOU MUST TAKETHEM WITH YOU. DO NOT RE-ENTER THE ROOM BEFORE THEEMERGENCY GIVES YOU PERMISSION. CONTACT MIB Staffs / HSE officer.[Make site safe, provide first aid and preserve the site]Emergency numbers:PDO areas – 5555Civil areas – 9999HSE officer – 99468456Asst-operation manager – 97722003Action to be taken in the event of major leakage /spillage of chemicals:1. Using appropriate PPE, try to stop the source ofleakage/spillage, taking appropriate measures as mentioned inthe MSDS of the chemicals.18
2. Collect the spilled material (in case of bitumen) in suitablecontainers.3. If the spillage is on floor, make a barricade with sand to preventfurther spread.4. If the liquid cannot be collected it should be soaked withsand/waste. The sand/waste soaked with material shall be sentfor incineration later on.5. If the liquid or its flushing has entered the storm water drain orany other drain, inform the effluent treatment departmentpersonnel.6. Flushing with water may also be carried out to clean the area.7. Point Nos.1 to 6 will apply for leakage from any tanker, vessel,container, storage tank etc. within the premises of the company.8. Collection of spilled material as mentioned in point 2 should becarried out in the dedicated collections arrangements whereprovided.9. In case of spillage of solid material, the material will becollected in container; if the material cannot be re-used it shallbe sent for incineration or suitable disposal after consulting withthe authority.Hazards of bitumen:Bitumen in service on for example roads, roofs or pavements arevirtually solid and do not present any known health or environmentalhazard19
Bitumen is normally manufactured, stored, transported and handled hot.Hence the most significant hazard is the potential to cause severe burns.Hot bitumen gives off fumes. These can cause respiratory tract or eyeirritation. Much scientific research has been carried out to establish that,apart from this irritation, there is no evidence that bitumen is hazardousto worker health. Good temperature control and work practices canprevent or minimize worker exposure to fumes from bitumen.How can worker exposure to fumes from bitumen be minimized?Worker exposure can be minimized by the use of good workingpractices, such as:1. Keeping the temperature of the material as low as practicallypossible;2. Working in well ventilated conditions (including simple practicese.g. standing upwind of the source of fumes);3. Job rotation around the worksite;4. Use of personal protective equipment, especially in confinedspaces.First aid for bitumen burns:NOTES FOR GUIDANCE OF FIRST AIDAND MEDICAL PERSONNELAll persons working with hot bitumen should be familiar with these20
recommendations in order to administer first aid to burn victims. Thisdocument should accompany the patient and be placed in a prominentposition before transport to doctor or hospital.NO ATTEMPT SHOULD BE MADE TO REMOVETHE BITUMEN AT THE WORKSITE FIRST AIDWhen an accident has occurred the affected area should becooled immediately to prevent the heat causing further damage. Theburn should be drenched in cold water for at least ten minutes for skinand at least 5 minutes for eyes. However, body hypothermia must beavoided. No attempt should be made to remove the bitumen from theburned area. FURTHER TREATMENT, FIRST AID AND MEDICALCAREThe bitumen layer will be firmly attached to the skin andremoval should not be attempted unless carried out at a medical facilityunder the supervision of a doctor. The cold bitumen will form awaterproof, sterile layer over the burn which will prevent the burn fromdrying out. If the bitumen is removed from the wound there is thepossibility that the skin will be damaged further, bringing with it thepossibility of complications. Furthermore, by exposing a second degreeburn in order to treat it, there is the possibility that infection or dryingout will make the wound deeper.BITUMEN BURNS SECOND DEGREE BURNS21
The bitumen should be left in place and covered with a Tulledressing containing paraffin or a burn ointment containing paraffin, e.g.Flammazine (silver sulphadiazine). Such treatment will have the effectof softening the bitumen enabling it to be gently removed over a periodof days. As a result of the natural re-epithelialisation of the wound anyremaining bitumen will peel off in time. THIRD DEGREE BURNSActive removal of the bitumen should be avoided unless primarysurgical treatment is being considered due to the location and depth ofthe wound. In such cases removal of the bitumen is best carried out inthe operating theatre between the second and fifth day after the burnoccurred. By the second day the capillary circulation has usuallyrecovered and the bed of the wound is such that a specialist can assessthe depth to which the burn has penetrated. There are normally nosecondary problems such as infections to contend with before the sixthday. However, it is essential to commence treatment using paraffinbased substances from the day of the accident to facilitate removalduring surgery. CIRCUMFERENTIAL BURNSWhere hot bitumen completely encircles a limb or other bodypart the cooled and hardened bitumen may cause a tourniquet effect. Inthe event of this occurring the adhering bitumen must be softened and/orsplit to prevent restriction of blood flow.22
EYE BURNSNo attempt should be made to remove the bitumen byunqualified personnel .the patient should be referred urgently forspecialist medical assessment and appropriate treatment. Considerableeffort has been made to assure the accuracy and reliability of theinformation containedFire Protection System:Fire remains a threat to the plant and property, particularly as we use anumber of flammable chemicals; all big fires are initially small and arebest prevented if detected & extinguished in the incipient stage. Henceeach one of us should be alert about fire and know how to extinguish it.23
A fire takes places if a flammable material gets heated up to its ignitionpoint in the presence of air. The fire further propagates due to the chainreaction taking place between the molecules of the fuel & oxygen. Theenergy released as a result of the chemical reaction is in the form of heat,light and flames.Thus a fire will start if all the three elements Heat, Fuel and Oxygencome together in right proportions. This is also known as fire triangle. Afire will continue to burn if the chain reaction is also present. This isknown as tetrahedron of fire.Fire can be prevented if the three sides of fire triangle are never allowedto meet together.Fire extinguishment is based on the following four methods:1. Cooling - Removal of heat2. Starving - Removal of Fuel3. Blanketing/smothering - cutting of oxygen supply24
4. Breaking the chain reaction - Introduction of chemicals whichinterfere & break the chain reaction.Fires are classified into five categories:Class A – Solid fires (wood, paper, cloth etc.)Class B – Liquid fires (petrol, methanol, IPA etc.)Class C – Gas fires (hydrogen, LPG, Acetylene etc.)Class D – Metal fires (Na, K, aluminum, zinc etc.)Class E – Electrical fires (panel, motors, cable etc.)Various fire extinguishing agents are:1.2.3.4.WaterFoamCo2Dry chemical powder (DCP) Water:We can use water to extinguish fires of class A. waterextinguishes a fire by cooling. Water spray gives better cooling;water jet is used to extinguish fire from a distance.25
Foam:It is used to extinguish fires of class b i.e. Fires insolvent/chemicals which are lighter than water. Foam being lighter,floats on solvent surface and extinguishes the fire by cooling andsmothering. Foams are of two kind’s chemicals foam &mechanical foam. Chemical foam is produced by the reaction oftwo chemicals solutions. Mechanical foam is produced bymechanical impact on a solution of foam compound in water. CO2:It is used to extinguish fires of class E, electrical fires. It may alsobe used to extinguis
